Ford Windstar Service Brakes, Hydraulic Safety Report | Aug 04, 2010
Reported on Aug 04, 2010
| ABS AND BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON DAILY, USUALLY AFTER A FEW MINUTES OF TRAVEL. FORD GARAGE WAS UNABLE TO FIND A PROBLEM. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING OCCURRENCE FOR AT LEAST TWO YEARS NOW. I, ALSO, HAD AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES GOING OUT AT SPEEDS UNDER 5 MPH. THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD GO TO THE FLOOR. I HAD TO PUMP THE BRAKES TO GET THEM TO WORK AGAIN. THE GARAGE CHECKED THE BRAKES AND DID NOT FIND ANY BLEEDING OR OTHER PROBLEMS THIS WOULD HAPPEN ABOUT ONCE EVERY MONTH OR TWO AND WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO REPLICATE FOR THE FORD DEALERSHIP. AFTER NUMEROUS VISITS TO THE FORD GARAGE THEY TOLD US THEY RECOGNIZED THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH OUR VAN AND WOULD NO LONGER CHARGE US THE INITIAL INSPECTION FEE SINCE THEY HAD BEEN UNABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM. THE FUSIBLE LINK RECALL WORK WAS DONE ON MY VAN A YEAR OR MORE AGO. THE FREQUENCY AND POTENTIAL FOR INJURY OR DEATH SHOULD BE ADDRESSED TO FORD AND THE PROPER RECALLS SHOULD BE MADE. *TR | |
